If you hadn’t noticed…. I took a little week off blogging to spend some time with the family. That will explain why I’m sharing Easter photos a week and a half later. Ha! It was a lovely lovely vacation you guys. Some time off I really needed. I still worked on orders for custom drawings… and, answered emails…. but, mostly I stayed away from blogging. It was hard! But, I did it and enjoyed my free time.

We wandered up to Bellingham, WA to hang out with the husband’s family during the Easter weekend. Lots of fun, candy, wine, and holy moly toddler meltdowns (see yesterday’s post). BUT, I’m pretty sure the highlight of the weekend for Miss R was… the candy. Oh yes. We rarely give it to her because… well, she doesn’t need it and never asks for it. So, we just pretend it doesn’t exist most of the time. When it comes to Easter… apparently there was no way around the no-candy deal. I was fine with this for one day… but, the kiddo seriously ate zero real food that day! She only ate candy… and, when I hid it from her: some sucker (ahem husband) gave in to her sad-no-candy face… and, gave her more. Ha! Oh well. We ended the evening with thee most amazingly terrible toddler melt down to date. It was AWFUL. Wow. Still scarred from that.

But, all in all it was an amazing week! I even managed to catch one photo of the ever elusive husband. The settings were all perfect… he was distracted by his family…. playing an egg toss…. there was beer… and, I got a photo! Hee.

Good for you for taking a break! We all need that every now and again! Your little one is a doll. (Although I'm not there for the tantrums- lol). The caption with the dora book cracks me up! Looks like it was a stellar easter!

haha love this post and the title. My two kids rarely get candy either but Easter weekend included lots of candy. The newly minted one year old decided he wanted jelly beans. Choking hazard much? But he chewed them- a lot of them! Thank goodness holidays are once in awhile. Ah meltdowns…welcome to toddlerhood. The honeymoon is over. 🙂
